As you are bridging two interfaces the interface speeds need to match. It wouldn't be a good thing if the router created a network like a funnel. If you want it to operate at gig speeds then you need to gig interfaces.

Hi Matt, The plugged device (switch) Gigabit interface is auto negotiating to 100. I'm talking about the speed not the bandwidth. Thanks, - Mohammad On Tue, Jul 27, 2010 at 12:27 AM, Matt Hill <[email protected]> wrote: HI Mohammad, Are you sure the interface is at 100/F? Is the interface just showing "bandwidth 100" under show interfaces? What speed is the device plugged into the Gigabit port of the BVI negotiating at? I have a feeling that the BVI is reporting 100 for the "bandwidth" statement for your routing, qos etc under show interfaces but the L2 interface is still working at 1000.
